Angeline
I knew a man Called Angeline,
Had three red shirts On his clothes line.
He bought a goat And tied it fast Right by the neck In his backyard.
The goat got loose 'Bout half-past-nine.
Ate up those shirts Right off the line.
Then Angeline Got mad and said He wished that billy Goat was dead.
He took him to The railroad track And there he tied him On his back.
Around the cerve Came a night express — I'll leave the rest For you to guess.
He gave a call Of Mortal pain,
Coughed up those shirts And flagged the train.
